Until the age of 44, I had NEVER gone through the phase of depression, anxiety and worry. 

 

Until my parents were alive, I had full emotional support during the thick and thin of life. 

 

Last 2 years, I went through some difficult times. 

 

Here are some setbacks which put me under pressure and took me to the phase of depression, anxiety and worry, 

 

  • Our projects in Qatar, shutdown which damaged us financially and we had to let go all our team and sold off our office. 

  • Over 14 years, I did work on software solutions which I have to give up as we did not had buyers for it 

  • Chemical trading busines was not going well and we are barely doing few deals in a year which is not enough

  • Since I moved to India, I had no consultancy project which I used to get while living in Norway.

  • Source of income got almost ZERO

  • In India, I moved to a small place, about 30 Km from Kolkata which I find it dirty.

  • Tried to find opportunities in Middle East but did not had any luck yet

  • Some of my close family members betrayed which was NEVER expected in my wildest dream.

  • Lost my parents 

  • Bought a land to establish a warehouse but the land owner cheated by selling a land where we cant construct warehouse. 

  • Land issue took me to court and police domain which was frustrating, humiliating and waste of time.

  • Local corrutpion issue in West Bengal brought another set of challenges

  • Moved to live in a small house, and filthy neighbourhood which was never a part of my dream.  

  • Our startup was not generating any revenue

  • ++

 

All these piled ups and put me under pressure which took me to the stage of deep thinking, worry, and some days/months of depression. 

 

I know that you have nothing to do with my problems and I have no rights to bring them in public.

 

However, the objective is to write about what I learnt from this dark phase of life so that few of you who read, can learn and skip the mistakes which I made. 

 

Here are my learnings going through the phase of worry:

 

  • NEVER have any expectation from anyone as 99% of your contacts will disappear when you are in the stage of thin. 

  • Keep the control of personal finance as there are people who can throw you out of your own house and account. 

  • Time is more powerful than anyone. 

  • Affirm your gratitude everyday

  • Read books and take care for close friends and family who really matters to you

  • Love your family the most and prioritize your health which is the most important aspect of life. 

  • Ignore, forgive and move on.

  • Keep distance from bad and negetive people
  • If you are dealing with some unethical people then better dont involve yourself directly and hire someone of that type who know how to handle those unethical and corrupt 
  • Careful with people who is nice during good time but run away in tough time. 
  • God is there and be thankful to him for what you have. However, DONT expect that he is going to help you. 

 

How will you keep yourself positive during difficult times?.
